Wooden mallet

Had some scrap maple and oak laying around and figured I’d give this a try. I didn’t add any weights to it, because I figured I’d screw it up, so no sense wasting money on lead. It turned out pretty good and, even without the weight, it has some good heft to it. I staggered the end grain on the sides of the mallet.

No, I took the picture with my cell phone on a spur of the moment thing, and didn’t think to get a pic of the handle. It’s nothing special, just oak that I cut with the bandsaw and then sanded until it felt good in my hand.
